Vance: Biden’s Letting In Fentanyl To “Kill MAGA Voters”

Media Matters reports:

On Friday, Ohio Senate candidate J.D.

The theory has also been put forward by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, whom the New York Times recently characterized as running “what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news.”
